What Lethal League is
Lethal League is a competitive projectile fighting game from Team Reptile. You hit an anti-gravity ball into your opponent's face to win, and the ball speeds up with every strike until it reaches explosively extreme velocities. The roster is street-styled, from the mad Candyman to the cyborg crocodile Latch, and each character has their own unique play-style and abilities. The whole thing runs on a Big-beat, Hip-Hop and House soundtrack with Grillo, Bignic, Dr. Lazer and more.
How your group plays together
Up to 4 players can play locally and online in free-for-all and team modes. Local matches work for intense games with friends and foes in the same room, and Remote Play Together lets people join in from elsewhere. Online gives you a Private Match to invite friends or a Quick Match to find opponents, using GGPO technology so the high speed of the game translates seamlessly to online play with a way to tweak your experience. The singleplayer challenge mode is there for when you want to play alone: beat a series of opponents arcade-style to reach the beat-blasting bossfight.
What to know before starting
The gameplay is easy to pick up and hard to master. You start off simply hitting the ball faster and faster, then improve by learning how to use Smashing, Bunting, Parrying and Special Abilities to your advantage. Matches are fast and competitive, so expect a sharp learning curve once the ball gets moving.
